Got tired of all the excuses regarding the stairs and driveway. Started looking around the area and saw a VERY similar Chalet less than 5 minutes away sell in 4 days for a little more than my house is listed. So apparently it's a very real deal breaker and not just a BS excuses from people too scared to make a lower offer (my realtor's theory).
Soooo just for giggles I fired up the Airbnb listing, made it a house listing, put up better pictures and slapped a ridiculous price of $500/night to see if I could get any bites ... it was booked in under 12 hours. So I've been scrambling to make a bunk bed since everything is out of stock everywhere. I wanted to market it as a double master + kids room. It's still just a feeler for now but going to see what I can get. Opened up a few other weekends, if nothing else it will be easier to market the place as a turn-key revenue-generating rental than a "forever home" on the side of a cliff.
Already automated the cleaning portion. I have 2 cleaners on TurnoverBnb and it's synced with my calendar/bookings. The dry run is great because it will be me coming in after them for now instead of another booking. Just need to talk to the neighbor about being a property manager and I can at the very least pay my mortgage and fund some weekend trips while the place is listed. If it's even half as consistent as it looks like, it's going to be hard to give up.
I find out on Monday what BoA's next big decision regarding COVID is going to be, so that's a big wildcard. Hopefully they're just staying remote til the end of the year at the least.
